As we prepare to celebrate our seniors' successful completion of high school, we remind parents to
write a personal congratulations letter to your graduate and encourage siblings, grandparents, Godparents, teachers, and others to write as well. In the past, letters reminisced about the graduate's growth of life or hopes for the future. It can be a note card, a song, a poem, a card, or a 10 page letter -- your choice. Please be sure each letter is signed by the author. We would like each child to have a letter from at least one parent and 2 additional people. Please place all envelopes and cards in a large envelope and label it with your child's name. Please send the envelope to Roxanne Castellanos' attention at York Catholic by Monday, May 14. Please do not send gifts for students.

Surrounding the area is a walkway of engraved bricks dedicated to the honor and memory of family, friends, and classmates. Click here for an order form to place a brick in your graduate's honor in our Grotto.

New Process! Sports Physicals Paperwork
to be Completed Online |
 Students wishing to participate in athletics or marching band during the 2018-2019 school year must submit the following paperwork online:
- PIAA Physical Form
- Athlete & Parent Agreement
- ImPACT Test
Students wishing to play any sport during the 2018-2019 school year MUST verify the paperwork is on file with Mr. Hayek no later than
Wednesday, August 1
, at 3 PM; no exceptions.
NEW!! PLEASE NOTE THIS IMPORTANT CHANGE
The York Catholic Athletic Department now hosts their Athletic Forms online with Arbiter Athlete, powered by PlanetHS, a software company committed to keeping student(s) safe. This digital platform will allow parents and athletes to complete and access most athletic forms (physicals, agreements, etc.) via computer, tablet, or mobile phone. It is HIPPA, COPPA, and FERPA compliant.
York Catholic will continue to host Sports Physicals at OSS Health on Thursday, June 7, from 6-7:30 PM. Cost is $15. Instead of printing 9 pages of information to take to the doctor as was needed previously, you will instead complete the information online and only print 2 pages for the doctor to review and complete.
Before forms can be completed by parent and student, ArbiterAthlete accounts must be set-up by each athlete and his or her parent. Click here for instructions on how to set-up an account. Forms will be valid for the entire 2018-2019 school year.
Failure to complete the online paperwork by the deadline will mean the student will not be permitted to practice the first day of the season. For some sports, this could mean the student will not make the team. Contact Mr. Hayek at
[email protected]
or 717-846-8871 x244 if you have any questions and to be sure you have a valid ImPACT Test on file.
If you need technical assistance with Arbiter Athlete/PlanetHS, email
[email protected].
IMPORTANT MEETING
A brief instructional meeting regarding these changes will be
held for parents and athletes/marching band members on Wednesday, May 16, at 7 PM in the YC auditorium.
